This 73-year-old white male has been bald since the age of
28. He developed nonA-nonB-induced liver cirrhosis and had been treated with
spironolactone for the last 6 years. For the last 3 months, his hair had started to regrow
over the scalp. This might be related to the antiandrogenic effect of spironolactone.
